Shocking!A Weird New Book That Can Clean Dirty Water



A scientist at Carnegie Mellon University is doing her best to make books important around the world at the same time that she’s trying to solve one of the biggest problems in human history: clean drinking water.

 After successful field tests in Bangladesh and two African nations, the future looks bright for her product, The Drinkable Book, which means everyone benefits.

From the outside, Dankovich’s product looks like a simple book, but inside the cover, the pages can work magic. Currently, Dankovich and her team create each page by hand and apply an appropriate amount of copper or silver nanoparticles to the paper.

When the user needs clean water, they simply tear a page out of the book, place it in a holder, and pour water through the page, which acts as a filter.

The nanoparticles are absorbed by the bacteria in the water, which kills them. What’s left is clean drinking water, which has no strong smell or unpleasant taste. Seriously, the pages of this book can eliminate Cholera, E. coli, and Typhoid.

According to reports,each page in the book can filter over twenty-six gallons of water before it needs to be replaced. An entire book can supply enough filters to purify four years’ worth of drinking water for a single person.

The next phase of development involves commercial manufacturing of the books on a larger scale and both China and India have expressed an interest in funding this production. Such funding will help to make the already cost-effective product even less expensive.
 Currently, a single page in The Drinkable Book costs only $0.03 to make.
